Check your local hardware store. I have found "Lift-The-Dot" fasteners
at my local OSH and Home "Defect". Also stop by a local car upholstery
shop. I got some Tenax studs at mine.
For larger quantities try www.atrim.com .
My tonneau center snap is off to the side of my mirror bracket on my
MKII but since it has no hardware you can put them anywhere you want.

Subject: Tonneau cover hardware
I recently picked up a tonneau cover for my '69 Sprite. Don't know the
manufacturer. It came without any hardware. It seems to use all of the
existing snaps, studs etc. that are stock with the car, except for at
the
center front, where there are a couple of "Lift-the-dot" type fasteners,
one
on each side of the zipper, for which there are no corresponding studs
on
the car. Would these have been included with the tonneau originally, and
how
do I go about working up something that will fit? M*ss has studs, but I
don't want to drill any holes if I don't have to. The bracket at the
bottom
of the windshield stay rod looks like a possible mounting point for some
kind of plate or strap that I could mount studs to. Ideas?
Thanks,
Jim Algar
